You can clickbait. It’s okay. It’s working!

Also, welcome!

Edit: ah, the flair.

That said, Bulk Detonators are honestly pretty unfair on Salvage, since there really isn't much counterplay. You can't leave the circle to kite them, you can't just hide behind the objective to protect yourself, they have far too much health to easily down before they get close, and one single blast from it is likely to down the whole team. On higher hazard levels a BD spawning during the objective basically just means a loss through literally no fault of your own, and it gets really frustrating because you feel like there was honestly nothing you could have done.

Yeah, I share the concerns and I’ve raised them - we’re looking at making that less of an issue. We definitely don’t want a spawn to mean you’re certain of losing.

The moment I realized one of the devs posted this and not some random made me slap my forehead. Do you guys really not have a better way of doing this? :D

I could have changed weapons which would have dropped it right in front of me... but I didn’t think of that in the moment. :D

Half-way through they added a new feature too, that made it harder to do, but that’s not in the vids, since I reverted to an older version. :D

Riiiight, the summer holidays. Rest well, guys, everyone needs a good rest and I can only imagine how stressful it is to chuck updates like you do.

I haven’t got any vacation, so I’ll be sh*tposting from a near-empty office. :D

My video didn't load properly and the blur gave me Bill Cosby/Cardi B flashbacks.

One of those is a better result than the other.

Soooo, same time as the "deep dives" come out? Oh well, I was hoping for a small cosmetics update soon-ish.

Can't rule anything out, but with the summer holidays looming over us...

If I had a piece of morkite for every time I'd been a naked let-down, we could call the drop pod before we even left the space rig.

Alright, I now know how my dwarves will look after the update. Speaking of which...

WHEN?!?!?!

The ancestral logbook has narrowed down the date to August/September.

PS: Hope your butt stopped hurting.

THIS is why I'm scared to buy the game on Xbox.

I REALLY want the PlayAnywhere capability, but getting updates so much later than other players absolutely blows. I know it's not the devs fault, but that's just another reason for me to just get it on Steam as opposed to Xbox. (also mod support if/when that's a thing)

I learned my lesson from Ark: Survival Evolved.

This is not the norm. It was the result of Microsoft switching to a new automated system, which apparently had an issue with something in the Unreal Engine. That required the update to need manual approval, then E3 happened, and summer holidays - a long line of unfortunately timed events.

Wait you’re a dev for ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE?

Yes! I see how the video is weird without that context. :D

I’m confused about a couple of things. Why did you want the egg to land where it did? Second thing is what is the significance of the link showing the robot picking up the egg and dropping it?

What Sovos said. I had to make a <7 second gif of Bosco picking something up for the hotfix we introduced that in. Having it on the ground looked plain boring, and I wanted to avoid Bosco clipping through any solids.

Those vents were perfect for holding an egg upright for the purpose of making a short clip, I just failed spectacularly in setting it up.

When the devs don't have debug tools. Psh what losers /s

We kinda do, but not for this very specific thing. Also, the youtube comments are shaming me for not just changing weapons, dropping it in front of me. Rightfully so.

Done.

Glad you like it! And sorry it took so long - it was out of our hands.

Thats because there is a spawn pool of Specials. Wardens, grabbers, bombers, stuff like that. Depending on the difficulty you will have 1-3 different specials. So if a bulk shows up, you are likely to get another. How many spawn points this eats up is unknown so you may get like 1 bulk or 3 menaces

This. If you meet one Bulk Detonator, there will likely be more coming as that mean it’s in the spawn pool.
